Lesiba Mothupi is a South African finance content creator and trading educator best known for his YouTube channel, where he explains forex and index trading, personal finance and entrepreneurship to a large audience. His videos mix weekly market breakdowns on instruments such as gold, US30 and Nasdaq with tutorials on risk management, position sizing, trading psychology and budgeting. He also records interview‑style episodes with traders and founders, giving viewers practical tactics and cautionary lessons. Beyond YouTube, Mothupi runs Forex Chasers, an education brand offering courses, live streams and a community for retail traders. The channel has grown since 2014 to more than 290,000 subscribers, over 21 million views and roughly a thousand uploads. His audience skews toward aspiring and early‑stage traders who want straightforward explanations and recurring setups rather than hype. Notable appearances include serving as the first guest on Market Masters, a 2021 YouTube talk series from Top Trader SA and broker Exness that profiled prominent African traders. Mothupi frames his work around financial literacy and discipline: start with clear plans, track data and protect capital before chasing returns. The result is a steady output of market commentary and how‑to content aimed at helping beginners navigate a volatile, risk‑heavy corner of finance.
